Superintendent Ethan Ebenstein says construction on the facility’s exterior should be finished this summer. The center is scheduled to open this fall.

Ebenstein says the facility, designed by GMB A&E out of Holland, is a hybrid of an auditorium and gymnasium. It features a full-size stage and retractable theater-style seating for approximately 700 people, but with the added functionality of a full-size gym with a parquet wood floor. The new facility also contains two locker rooms, a trainer’s office, a lab, a school store and a large lobby.
